The
Schatten Gallery of the Robert W. Woodruff Library this spring
hosted the exhibition "Selling Race: Cinematic Poster Art
From Race Films to Blaxploitation." Posters, lobby cards,
and press books from Emorys African-American Cinema Collection
documented the marketing of such films as Black Like Me,
Cleopatra Jones, and Super Fly. Emorys collection,
unique in the Southeast, complements the work of Emory professors
Dana F. White and Matthew Bernstein, who are researching a book
on segregated cinema in Atlanta.
